Minaj told MTV News: "When I was doing my mixtapes, I would perform in strip clubs, I would perform in clubs and it was just like some of my most die-hard fans would be in these places.

"I wanted to kinda like honor them - kinda honor all my girls in the club and just say, 'Thank you for the support'. When I see the strippers and all of that, they always show me love, so I wanted to kinda make a video around them."

Minaj recently admitted that she is 'irked' by comparisons to Lady GaGa, as she feels that the artists are in entirely "different lanes" in their careers.
